THE CONCEPT

It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)

Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

What I want is an English version of this song. I started writing lyrics in my spare time. It’s taken me a long time as I’ve been busy with classes and am a bit of a perfectionist, but I’m thus far pleased with what I have.

Places I’m used to being, people I’m used to seeing
Recently all seem to speak of the tragedies,
Of places far across the seas
I want to feel safe again in the night,
Soft music and sleep without fright
No matter how painful the time, why do I sing? (Who knows)
I don’t want to love again, why do I keep trying? (Darling, darling, ah)
I don’t hear a thing no matter what you say or do
I am blinded without a clue
I just tried, I just tried turning BLUE
I am only human
Complimented by this color
Day and day growing number
I think I’m getting older
I remember the sadness of your frown
Those spinning lights
I want to believe once again you’ll be around
The light is bound to reach you
Even on nights so freezing, who is the one singing? (Who?)
From sheets of music thrown askew
The notes, their tune inked in BLUE
I remember the sadness of your frown
Those spinning lights
I want to believe once again you’ll be around
The light is bound to reach you
Oh, no matter how painfully my life, why do I live? (Who knows?)
I just want a normal life, fame is overexaggerated.
Darling darling, ah, questions make me BLUE.
Darling darling, ah,
Tell me something good
Or let me feel your warmth one more time,
You have no idea the mountain I’d climb
Oh, no matter how long the night, day should break right?
Just like the stories from when we were children?
And though I don’t can’t hear a thing at all,
I know this storm will soon end
And though the future is cloudy
We can always keep on hoping
Why can’t you understand this? And why do I care about it? (Who knows)
I don’t want to love again, why do I keep trying? (Darling, darling, ah)
I don’t hear a thing no matter what you say or do
I am blinded without a clue
I just tried, I just tried turning BLUE

I have to say that was pretty amazing. After listening to the original it’s awesome that you were able to take the translated version and give it the same beat, despite the complete difference in the sounds of the words.

Wow I just decided to put the original version on top of your version and they sync up pretty well, not 100% of course but close, enough so that the pitches of your version and her version actually harmonize, which sounds pretty cool.

You know what you need, Andrew?
You need an offical myspace.
It’s an easy way to spread your music- people would put their songs on their profile and their friends would see it. :0
Be pretty Epic.
If you are to make a myspace, put this song on it. :D That way, I can add it on my profile.
I adore this song.

I almost had a heart attack when I read the title for this. I’ve been obsessing over Utada Hikaru for about a year now, and this is a brilliant cover. I think your chorus sounds edgy-er than hers because I always thought there were too many words in it. :P However, you can’t really help it with the Japanese language.

this is amazing,
i actually like this version better then hers..
you’re a really really really REALLY good singer, even though most of your songs are like, jokish, this one is amazing, and you should really think of starting a band or something. and DEFFINATLY make an official myspace like missy said, that’s an amazing idea, and i too want this for my profile :3

Holy crap, BLUE is my favorite Utada Hikaru song. This is a good attempt at English lyrics, trust me, I’ve tried. Unfortunately, the choppiness of the melody really lends itself more to a Japanese grammatical style.

It’s free because Andrew is an honourable chap. Would you want someone else making money off a cover of one of his songs, and him not getting anything? No.
This just means he deserves even greater kudos on the wonderful job he’s doing

Used to be a huge Utada Hikaru fan with the Kingdom Hearts games, and I think that its great you took the time to actually focus on an already existing song and use the translated lyrics to make a version us english speakers can enjoy just as much if not more than the original. Love it.

Hello everyone, I be familiar with YouTube video carries less bytes of memory due to that its quality is poor, except this YouTube video has great picture quality SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO » Blog Archive » BLUE.
